Chapter 165: This time, she was done for!
Leaning against the wall, with his eyes closed, Su Liwei looked aloof and cold.
When Jing Lihua stepped out of the car, her eyes fell upon his handsome face. She paused for a second.
After regaining my memories of Li Zhiqiang, this is the first time I am seeing him.
In fact, Heng Bingwen had told me that after retiring from the position of the President of the Su enterprise, he had simply... disappeared.
He had disappeared from everywhere.
He had shown no interest in the political struggles of the Su empire.
He even gave up his shares willingly.
Su Liwei...
In my last life, you were so hell bound to see the decline of my Tang empire.
I always knew that acquiring wealth or power was not your purpose.
So what has happened this time?
Why are you so indifferent to everything?
So what you had told me that drunk night, was it true?
Was it all because of your mother?
Jing Lihua was aware that he always had a complicated relationship with his family. Let it be Su Guozhai, his father, or his mother before her death. The complexity of the Su family, Jing Lihua could never decipher, let it be this life or her past life.
In any case, after her rebirth, she was disappointed in Su Liwei.
She didn't want to waste her breath investigating.
Even if I found out the reasons, his reasons, so what?
Would that change the torture I had gone through in my previous life?
"You are here." Su Liwei straightened once Jing Lihua approached him
As expected, there were some reporters around the area. Finding the opportunity of seeing them both together, they quickly took some photos.
Jing Lihua knew it was all for the show.
But she pretended to go along with the flow.
Glancing up at the handsome face of the man before him, Jing Lihua realized what had she fell for in her previous life.
Indeed, that man, his looks are great.
Even the aura and the air around him was not to be underestimated.
But too bad...
In my last life, it had only been me...
Single-mindedly obsessed with a person who was never true to me... just because of those superficial features...
Jing Lihua sighed.
However, she quickly hid the disappointment in her eyes. Instead, a faint spark of affection appeared in her eyes as she looked up.
"Did I make you wait, Su Liwei? Handling affairs at the office is rather difficult..." Jing Liuhua smiled faintly looking up at the man.
Su Liwei paused, temporarily blinded by the bewitching smile on that gorgeous face. His heart skipped a beat.
A frown covered his feature, he couldn't understand why would she use such a casual tone with him.
His previously dull eyes regained a bit of focus as he stared at her with interest.
Then a moment later, he understood.
This was all because of the reporters, wasn't it?
His expressions returned to being cold.
He nodded slightly. "Let's go."
With that said, he turned around and moved for the flight. Jing Lihua closely followed behind.
Ther
e is a specific body language between lovers that is distinct from that if 'strangers'. While following behind Su Liwei, Jing Lihua kept her body language in check making it appear that they were indeed quite close.
They would exchange words of casual discussion, Jing Lihua being the one who would say the first word. Su Liwei would reply in short, curt responses.
It was all for show.
Before disappearing from the airport, Jing Lihua's eyes fell upon an obscure car at some distance. Her eyes met with a certain man who was coldly glancing in her direction.
She silently cursed under her breath.
President Li, what in the Hell are you doing here?
Immediately, gloominess appeared in her heart.
Please don't misunderstand.
I must be flawless in my acting to fool them.
This is all acting, alright!

In the Mealor Mansion.
An hour later.
Looking at the video secured by her agents, Su Jiayi laughed lightly.
"Uncle, are you assured now?"
Su Donghai was at a distance. He appeared to be in deep contemplation. "She is a sly fox. I would not underestimate her."
Su Jiayi closed the laptop. "Just look at the way, how hard she is trying to act like a true couple. If she ever suspected us, she would not have left her company like this in the first place. Besides, if she even left to incite us into making a move and exposing us, she would not be mindful of these minute details of appearing like a true couple with Liwei Ge."
Su Donghai fell into silence. What his niece said made sense.
"She only agreed for this trip to clear her bad name in the social circle. After the massacre case and due to her feud with Su Lanfan and association with public figures like Zhao Liying and Mo Liang, her reputation had uncontrollably become popular. As the President of the Tang Empire, this might be bad for her... People will associate every bad point in her reputation with her company." Su Jiayi said with an air of self-assurance.
Everything was simple and right in front of their eyes.
There was no suspectable point in the scenario.
But, in his suspicion, Su Donghai was right too.
With an enemy as sharp as Jing Lihua, we can never be less careful
Especially now that she has a strong alliance with the prestigious 'Li' family...
But if we miss this chance, we will not find such an enticing opportunity in the future.
What if that Jing Lihua association with the prestigious 'Li' family grows stronger? If that happened she would become truly omnipotent.
The fear of that occurring prompted Su Donghai to quickly reach the decision.
We have to act before that happening! We must cut her roots before her influence grows stronger!
Other than that, the matter of the Heng family had caused substantial stress to Su Donghai. The overall outcome was that their influence over the Tang enterprise had reduced.
Heng Huizhong was our man.
However, his son, Heng Bingwen is a loyal dog to Jing Lihua.
No matter what we offered, he couldn't be swayed.
We have lost all control over the Heng Software Limited...
With that we have lost an important pawn in the Tang e
nterprise...
It looks like we are left with no other choices...
"Alright. We have our man Zhang Min in her elite force. As the head of the finance department, he had spread his influence in the past few months. Jing Lihua hadn't shown any caution towards him until now. Alert him immediately! We must get our hands on the classified information during the week time she is away!"
Su Donghai made up his mind and ordered.
Listening to her Uncle's words, Su Junjie's eyes brightened. Her lips curled up into a smirk.
This Jing Lihua...
This time, she was truly done for...
